Value of 18F-FDG PET/CT Based on PD-L1 to Predict Outcomes of Immunotherapy in NSCLC ()
ABSTRACT
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), targeting programmed cell death
protein-1 (PD-1) and its ligand (PD-L1), have changed the treatment history of
lung cancer, especially in the field of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). 18F-FDG
PET/CT, as a noninvasive and effective examination technique, reflects the
location and functional information of tumor lesions through the metabolic
level of glucose. Studies have shown that PD-L1 may affect the sugar metabolism
of tumor cells. Therefore, 18F-FDG PET/CT can be used to predict the
expression of PD-L1 and evaluate the efficacy of immunotherapy. This article
mainly introduces the relationship between PD-L1 expression and NSCLC, the advantages
of 18F-FDG PET/CT, the imaging mechanism of 18F-FDG
PET/CT based on PD-L1 and its research progress in NSCLC, and the role of 18F-FDG
PET/CT in the response and efficacy evaluation of immunotherapy in NSCLC, aiming
to provide a reference for the clinic.
